Somerset County Council has given fifty-thousand pounds towards helping people badly affected by flooding as 8 flood warnings are still in place across the South West.

The money has been given to the Somerset Community Foundation who will use it to give grants to those whose homes have been damaged. They say even more money will be needed for victims with long term needs.
